BBQ RULES

We are about to enter the summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory
on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity,
as it's the only type of cooking a 'real' man will do,
(probably because there is an element of danger involved.)

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ
the following chain of events are put into motion:

Routine...

(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:

(4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....

(5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

Important again

(7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine....

(8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:

(10) Everyone PRAISES and THANKS HIMfor his cooking efforts. He then announces that we should do it again soon!
(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed
'her night off.' And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women....

Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Place in center of grid over very low coals. (Single layer of coals with space in between each.) Place cover on cooker and cook 5 hours, turning brisket over every 1-1/2 hours. (Remove fat from pan as it accumulates with baster.) Add 1/2 cup water, as needed, to pan. (Be sure to add briquets as needed to keep coals at a very low temperature.) Remove foil from pan. Remove brisket; place on grid directly over very low coals. Combine pan drippings with steak sauce; reserve 1 cup for Special Sauce. Brush steak sauce mixture over brisket. Replace cover and continue cooking 1 hour, brushing occasionally with sauce. Cut into thin slices; serve with Special Sauce.
8 servings.
Special Sauce: Cook 1/2 cup finely chopped onion in 2 tablespoons butter until tender. Stir in 1 cup steak sauce-beef drippings mixture, 1 cup catsup, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Simmer 10 minutes. Serve with brisket. 2 cups.
Note: Brisket may be prepared in water smoker. Prepare smoker according to manufacturer's directions. Place brisket, fat side up, directly in center of cooking rack. Cover smoker and smoke-cook at low to moderate temperature 4-1/2 to 5 hours.

Honestly, I would not mind a Food forum. When stuck with a Coolsat you need to find something to do with your time. I can even show you how to make your own pizza from scratch. "Show a man how to fish"
